less to keep her in the bone yard

Commenting on the result of the
Chicago election the Times Gnde-
pendent democraO says: The PeO
pie of Chicago had given their an
swer in no uncertain tones to the
braZen demands of the haymarket
banditti for a surrender of the NUM-
cipai government into their blooi l.
stained hands. The candidate Of the
red flag barharians f-r the mayora!ty
has been defeated by majority ap-
rroximating 28,OO0, and his associates
on the city ticket have suffered like
righteous fate. The result is q mag
nifcent trium 8h for the intelligence
and conscience of Chicago; it Is q
splendid vindication of the patriot
ism, the commen sense and sturdy
manhood of the great masses of the
| people; it is a crushing rebuke 10 The
demagogues and trlckster5 of the
Carter Harrison type who, to promote
their unhallowed rule and lust of
power, have been dalIying with law
lessness and wantonly trifinS with
the safety, the prosperity, and the
good name of this community. 1t is
a notice TO the world that the tide of
barbarisIn which threatened to sweep
away the safeguards Of property and
personal rights in this great city cul-
minated in the bloody massacres of
the haymaTkeu, and that, with the col
lapse of the rotten dynasty. whose
criminal folly and I,cklessness first
opened channel f-r IFS foulness.
Chicago is cnce more Oh high and
solid ground, secure against the
threatened inundation."
